Clothes hanger installation

Takes about 30 min

A pulley-type or wall-mounted cloth hanger carries a full load of wet laundry, which is heavier than most people think. The carpenter checks the balcony ceiling or wall for solid concrete, fixes the brackets with anchors that take the pull, and threads and tensions the pulley ropes so the rods rise and lower evenly. The lock is set so the rods stay up when loaded.

It takes about 30 minutes, from the price shown on this page. A long or heavy-duty hanger is priced before drilling.

Keep the hanger kit unpacked, have a stable stool or ladder at home, and clear the balcony of plants and laundry under the spot.

Questions about this service

Can a hanger go on a false ceiling?

No. False ceilings cannot take the load. The carpenter fixes it to the concrete slab or a solid wall.

My rods tilt when loaded. Why?

The pulley ropes are uneven. The carpenter tensions them so both ends rise together.

Do you supply the hanger?

No. You buy the kit, and the carpenter installs it.
